This is a drift diving into the Fakarava north channel during incoming current only. Starting into the blue, a stop on the edge of the drop off is possible, and then we drift into the channel toward the lagoon, hiding from the current into the life rich “ali baba canyon.“

Grey reef sharks, white tip lagoon sharks, snapers, groupers and other fishes in the canyon of Alibaba. Possible to see great hammer-head shark, tiger shark or manta ray sometimes.
